Thank you for visiting The Stork Store's stationery department. We are
open 7 days a week to help you with all of your stationery needs. Due
to the busy nature of the store, it is easier to answer e-mails than to
answer the phone. Please e-mail us your questions for a quicker
reply. We will return all phone calls within 24 hours.

Here are a few answers to commonly asked questions:

Does the stationery come with envelopes?Answer:
Yes, all stationery, announcements, invitations, and thank you notes
ship with blank white envelopes. Some companies may offer colored
envelopes for an additional cost. No worries, you will have envelopes
to ship your announcements!

What is the typical turn around time for announcements?Answer:
Most companies will ship out invitations within 3-5 business days. If
you order a proof, plan on extending the time by 1-2 days. We are able
to expedite many of the orders for an additional cost and we can
upgrade the shipping if you need the announcement for a specific date.

Do I really need a proof?Answer: We
highly recommend that you order a proof of the announcement. This will
show you exactly how the announcement will look when it is printed.
The proof will make sure that all of the information is correct and
that it is spelled right. If you make an error on the announcement,
most companies will reprint the announcement for a reduced rate. If
the company makes a mistake, they will reprint for free. If you do not
order a proof, we will e-mail or fax our order form for your approval.
We will not submit an order unless we have approval for all spelling.

Can you help me with wording/grammar/spacing of the text?Answer:
We want your announcement to be perfect. We will help you choose the
right wording and make recommendations when necessary. We will also
let you know if we need to make changes to your order so the wording
will fit best on the card.

What is the best way to order if I am still pregnant?Answer:
The Stork Store recommends that you fill out the full order form (minus
the birth information) prior to having the baby. This way, you can
handle all of the details in advance and speed up the processing time.
Give a family member our information (516) 557-6645 and they can call in with the specifics once the baby is born.

What if I don't know the gender of my baby? How can I order?Answer:
We love surprises! The best way to handle the biggest surprise is to
fill out announcement information for both a boy and a girl. This way,
you are one step ahead and you will only have to call in with the birth
information.

I don't see the announcement I want. Do you carry other brands?Answer:
I carry all invitations from the stationery companies you see on the
site, even if you don't see the particular announcement you are
interested in purchasing. I can also order almost any announcement you
are interested in. Please call us at: (516) 557-6645 or e-mail:
info@thestorkstore.com to see if we have your announcement.

Why should I choose the Stork Store when there are so many other companies?Answer: I have three good answers for this question:

1. We offer a price-matching guarantee so you can never be worried you
paid too much. Simply e-mail us a quote from a competitor and we will
match or beat the price.

2. When you call in, you will deal with the owner of the store. I know
all of the stationery companies and I will help guide you in choosing
the perfect announcement or stationery for your event.

3. We like what we do! We aim to please and we work hard to make you happy!

Thanks again for visiting The Stork Store and we look forward to helping you announce your biggest events!
